let's start with iran. >> in terms of iran i think that chuck hagel is not really committed to making sure iran does not have nuclear weapons. when you take a look at the things he has written with his global zero policy, eliminating some of our abilities as america, maybe even to unilaterally disarm, i think that he is not really right for the job and that is why i'm coming out against him. >> shannon: and, of course, the concerns go hand in hand with israel our ally in the region. he has take and lot of tough questioning about that and the former senator has said that he absolutely supports israel unequivocally. why s not enough to convince you? >> he has a book that he has written since leaving the senate and when you look at his history and his record you have to decide do you believe all of those things or decide what he is presenting just in one day if testimony and watching that testimony i mean to me it appeared week and wonley. unconvincing. seems to me that former senator hagel was much easier on the other side of the panel asking the questions than he is on the other side i
